About: i worked at a dog daycare for a few years while my dog was a puppy and i loved it so much! i love animals and love connecting with them. i appriciate this app so much bc i myself used to have a full time job that needed me to need pet sitters for my job.. i always got such amazing people to come take care of drax & rocket. i want others to feel the same with me as i take care of theirs! i want to transition into dog walking full time! so as i am part time at my job i have alot of open time to help others! i will follow owners instructions on what the animals can and can’t do! i will prioritize mental stimulation as well as exercise to make sure they are exerting all their energy in their time with me so they can sleep the times we / their owners are apart!
“Layla is amazing! Our pup loves her and she has been very prompt and reliable for walks. She also happens to be very knowledgeable about animals and has a great deal of experience. She’s walking our dog and also helping with training which has been amazing. I highly recommend her services!”
“Megan has been dog walking for us a couple weeks now and the service and communication has been excellent! Lizzy seems like she is getting good exercise and has been well taken care of”
“Jeanne was so good with my two pups! She was so kind and caring with them! She went above and beyond giving them extra love and homemade treats! She took them out for a walk while I was getting married and made sure we had nothing to worry about with the dogs! She made sure to stay a little extra and play with them! Very personal and professional! Definitely will use her in the future!”
“Marie has been walking our German Shepherd Lizzy for a few weeks now and has been great! Very reliable and has even been able to accommodate last minute walks when our schedules have been crazy! Really appreciate her hard work”
“Anna was great! She was available, prompt, friendly, and helped to make my pup feel comfortable. She saved the day for me and was available when others were not! Would highly recommend”
“Anne Marie was excellent! She came to meet Ralph in advance on short notice, which was very helpful for us. Ralph took to her very quickly, and she was prompt with the visits, sent us photos, and fed our cats as well. We will definitely be using her again. Great experience.”
“Heather is wonderful! Maizie cozied up to her immediately, and it's super-clear she and Heather have a tight bond even after just a couple of walks (and belly rubs..). And I get to come home at the end of the day to a very happy and calm pup.”
“Andrea was so great to communicate with - she sent lots of videos and was clearly so sweet with our dog. Very happy to have connected with her, and highly recommend!”

About: Ever since I was little, i’ve taken care of dogs that are stray as my own, i’ve raised my own dogs of many types of breeds including shitzu, pitbull, yorkie, etc. and i’ve known to take care of them in the serious moments when they’re sick and know how to handle medication, and in the best moments in playtime with non stop energy! At the moment, I am out of school for the summer and I am working part-time but with no set schedule, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your babies, and I offer drop-ins as well. Just send me a message and we can figure something out! We used to crate our dogs but we’ve recently stopped, but I can do that if those are your rules. I take care of my own cat switching her litter box every 1-2 weeks, feeding her 2 times a day, I brush her fur and have toys for her as well! With my dogs, they also get fed 2 times a day, they get walked most days, and they have their own grass potty area, and they have plenty of toys (lol).
About: What Sets me Apart? Love, Experience, and Trust. I'm just not a dog walker — I'm a lifelong animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. We know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust when you can’t be there. What makes me different is simple: I lead with care. I don’t rush through walks or treat this like a numbers game. Every dog I work with gets our full attention, patience, and affection — because that’s what they deserve. I take the time to learn your dog’s routines, quirks, and comfort zones. Whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and sensitive, I adjust to their needs and make sure they feel safe, understood, and happy while you’re away. This isn’t just a service — it’s a relationship built on trust, reliability, and compassion. Because when you leave your dog with someone, you’re not just handing over a leash — you’re handing over peace of mind. And I take that seriously. Hi there! I’m available for pet sitting after 3:30 PM on weekdays and open on weekends. I work full-time during the day but make your pet’s care a top priority when I’m off. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate care in the afternoons or weekends, I’d love to help! Caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—is something I take to heart. Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care based on their routine, needs, and personality. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, play, and rest. In a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible, keeping pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar space. My focus is always on making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for, just like family.
About: I've got 7 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats. I enjoy getting to know them and giving them a great walk around the neighborhood! I am available this winter if 2025/2026. I'm already booked on Christmas & New Year's Eve. My schedule is open and I hope to meet up soon. I live in a 2 story apartment one block away from a park on the harbor. It's a quick trot for any walks or socializing. My yard does not have a fence.
“Our dog can be very shy and nervous around new people, but with Melissa, she felt comfortable from the very beginning. It was incredible. It feels so good to have someone you can trust. Thank you, Meli.”
“Sandra was fantastic!! She was friendly, professional and great with our dog Maple. We had a last minute need and she came in clutch and would absolutely recommend her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Haven
Layla took excellent care of our little pup and was really flexible and highly responsive when our plans changed. Our dog has a bit of separation anxiety but we notice even after a multi day absence when we come back after Layla’s care she is very relaxed. We highly recommend her.
Aleeki is so kind and reliable! She’s taken care of my dog a few times now and every time she is so communicative. I had some last minute schedule changes last weekend and she really went above and beyond to make sure my girl was well cared for. I appreciate her so much!
Nancy was immediately loved by my pit mix Cheebs. He is very selective about his people but warmed up to Nancy so quickly, which made us knew we can trust her. She’s great with our guy, loves on him like he’s her own. She’s stayed in our home and done a few walks and we know we can count on her. Thank you, Nancy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in East Haven on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your East Haven. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in East Haven.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Haven. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
